With "Hansjoggeli!", the Moosegg Open-Air Theatre is bringing the well-known story to the stage in a new stage version that tells Gotthelf's story with a lot of folksiness.

Hansjoggeli, a wealthy, single farmer from the "Nidlebode", is gradually getting older and weaker. His numerous relatives keep a close eye on him and flatter the coveted hereditary cousin with compliments, gifts and well-intentioned advice. Occasionally they make fun of their relatives, especially the two godchildren Bäbeli and Bänz, who are loyal and hard-working servants to the Nidlebode farmer. It comes as it must and Hansjoggeli dies, but the opening of the will, which is full of surprises, will reveal who the heirs of the coveted cousin will ultimately be.
